Naming your beneficiary, and keeping the information current, puts you in control of what happens to your retirement account, if something happens to you.

Updating your beneficiary information is quick and easy to do online:

• Go to TIAA.org and log into your account.
• Under the My Account tab, select Profile and choose Add/edit beneficiaries.
• Designate beneficiaries and select how much each should receive.

You may also update your beneficiary information by submitting a completed TIAA Beneficiary Form to the following address:

TIAA

PO Box 1268

Charlotte, NC 28201-1268

Missing or outdated beneficiary information can create significant delays and costs for those your leave behind. If have questions or need assistance, contact TIAA at 800-842-2252.
